Mizzou Roll Call - Who's Going to the Game?

I'll keep a running tally of who'll be there in the thread topic. Perhaps we can pick an area to meet/tailgate.

DISCLAIMER: I'm not trying to stir any shit here, but it might be better if we kept things segregated, hence the "Mizzou" aspect of this thread. Depending on who shows, there is some serious animosity on this BB that, fueled by booze, could end badly. IMO, the prudent thing to do would be not put ourselves in that situation.

[Reerun_KC]

Not I, but have a great time and enjoy this once in a lifetime moment...

[DMAC]

I'll be there.

[morphius]

If fraz hates KU as much as he hates refrigerators I would be scared.

[teedubya]

ROFL. for goodness sakes, its a ****ing football game. People are talking about violence and fights... funny.

Some people need perspective, seriously.

[afchiefs]

Me and probably the wife and about 6 other couples from work. The company taking us is renting a 30' RV for tailgating and getting everyone sweatshirts of their team. The wife of the guy taking us is a student at KU. I hope she has thick skin. Should be GREAT.

[Demonpenz]

Finally kansas city can have a soccer style riots we keep seeing on the internet

[DMAC]

for goodness sakes LOL Go back to Pansyland, Grandma.

[HemiEd]

ROFL Seriously? Things could get out of hand?

[rageeumr]

I lucked into some tickets today, but I have to take a client and a co-worker who are KU fans. I'm pretty sure I can take them, though, if things get nasty :)

[Frazod]

ROFL Seriously? Things could get out of hand?

Between people like who have met and already know each other? Highly unlikely. I'd say between BB members generally it's probably unlikely. But you never know.

But this isn't like a Chiefs game where enemy fans will mind their Ps and Qs because they're outnumbered 100 to 1. Numbers will be fairly even, and I'd say the stakes have caused the "enemy" factor to eclipse typical Broncos/Raiders status by a pretty vast margin.

I am surprised, hadn't thought about it. But the more I do, you make a good point, some might get a snoot full and get ugly. It makes sense that they may take it pretty serious and lose control.
I am glad I am going to be watching it in the wholesome community of Wichita.

[StcChief]

Will be pulling for MU from here....

[Eleazar]

Another factor is that the crowd here is in large part still the college age crowd... people who are going to get absolutely canned, consider themselves invincible, and who don't mind throwing punches at people for no greater sin than being a fan of their home team, or at least mind it a lot less than those of us who are late 20s and above now.

I mean, would it really be shocking for there to be a huge brawl in one of the sections? Or for several people to get hospitalized because of brawls in the parking lot? It's a bitter rivalry, and this is probably the most important meeting of those teams ever, and people have all day to drink to it.

I expect the lots to be littered with broken glass, blood, and bits of abercrombie sweaters by the time it's over.

Somebody I know has a ticket for me, I may not be able to go, but I can't remember being worried about the place being out of control before. Maybe it won't be, but it's possible, you know?

[Hootie]

my two friends and I will be there =)

[Spott]

The thought about people fighting sounds pretty silly, but a couple of years ago they had a student from UF killed right after the Florida/Georgia game here in Jacksonville. 4 or 5 college age guys beat the UF student to death after the game when they got into some kind of altercation. Luckily it was caught on a surveillance camera, but when you see all the animosity on this board and you mix it with lots of alcohol, it's not too hard to imagine seeing a lot of fights at the game.

[bowener]

i'll be there, but im a n00b so nobody cares.

[Hootie]

I am so stoked! I'm not a fan of really either team or college football, but I was coming down for the Chiefs/Raiders game and my dad got my friends and I tickets for the Jayhawks/Tigers game and you can't pass up a tailgate at Arrowhead followed by a game featuring the #2 and #3 teams in the nation!

I'm more excited for this game than the Chiefs game, sadly =(

I hope it was okay to fix that post,I am still going,right?

Just found out that I will be there. Go MU.

You count as long as you're not a beaker. Welcome aboard. :thumb:

You are indeed.

[Brock]

Anyone who would swing over a football game seriously needs help. That's called going "raiderfan".

[duncan_idaho]

I will be there for Game Day.

I will be there for the game.

I will be there for the celebration afterwards.

I will be there for the Big 12 Championship game.

And I'll be there for the national title game, too.

(Hey, it's Monday. I'm about to look at things best-case).

I'd say that's just typical drunk fan. Raider fans use knives and guns instead of fists.

[Spott]

I will be over a thousand miles away from the stadium so you won't have to worry about any jinxes on my part.

:)

[jjchieffan]

Welcome to the planet! Sure we care. Especially since your profile says you work in MU ticket sales. You can get a lot of friends quick here. ROFL

Cool. Look forward to meeting you. :thumb:

[WilliamTheIrish]

I have tix. Not a Mizzou fan though. Not a KU fan either. Can I stop by?

[Deberg_1990]

Can I stop by?

Only if you bring some serious animosity fueled by booze.

[Frazod]

I have tix. Not a Mizzou fan though. Not a KU fan either. Can I stop by?

You must first profess your enduring hatred for the beakers. :titus:

Just kidding. Stop on by. :D

[CoMoChief]

I will be there.....drunk n happy.

[Frazod]

I think any "swinging" would stem from some obnoxious asshole shooting his mouth off to the wrong pissed off drunk. The football game would merely bring the asshole and drunk together in the same place.

[bowener]

Im just a lowly student worker, but it has its perks... got me 6 tix for $10 each...upper student section of course, but I dont belong anywhere else, especially after the amount of alcohol I will consume. Look for a giant mangino head eating a turkey on gameday.... that'll be me and my sign.

[Eleazar]

Anyway, I might be there but I would have an alternate tailgate obligation if so.

Besides, fraz said I wasn't allowed to go because we lost the last KU game I went to. :bang: and all that, remember? :Poke:

[smittysbar]

I will be there Fraz, as of now. I will be taking the Beer Pong table and a PA system. Will have Satellite and TV set up. So if anyone wants to come and tailgate then watch in the parking lot, it is cool. Not sure how many people I have rounded up to go, but it ought to be fun. Probably about 15 or more. If we all want to meet up before so we can get parked close that would be cool. Let me know what the plan is.

[ChiefsCountry]

Man I wish I would have bought these tickets when I first crack at them through being a Chiefs season ticket holder. Thought I could get them later, never expected this.

[Frazod]

Marking you both down.

And Cochise, if we lose, make sure you're somewhere I can find you afterwards...... :evil:

[KcMizzou]

I'll be there with a couple buddies from work.

[Eleazar]

They have signs saying weapons are prohibited.. just so you know :(

I wouldn't worry about the beakers showing up either, I hear there's a wine-tasting over in Leawood that is going to keep a lot of them away until gametime :D

[ROYC75]

Damn, I would love to be there, I can see it now, a front row view of all the Tiggers weeping after KU puts the Big L on them. Priceless, Damn, where is my MasterCard at ?

Seriously, I would join in guys if I could, Have a good time, I'll catch it on the tube. Might get lucky and see some of ya .

[Raiderhater58]

I would love to be there....


anyone have a ticket for sale??

[gblowfish]

I'll be there, have tix's in Sec 116, but won't be able to tailgate, have to hustle back to town from Thanksgiving trip outta state. Get back just in time for the 7pm kick.

I'll be wearing Black & Gold, no doubt surrounded by blue & red wearing yahoos.

[smittysbar]

We need a sticky on this thread

[KcMizzou]

Don't show up unless you're alumni, and you know the secret handshake. /Ari

[Tits McGee]

I'll be there.

Can't make it, but I do the retro Mizzou logo.
I might be up for a little bowling.

[irishjayhawk]

Don't show up unless you're alumni, and you know the secret handshake. /Ari

How do you know it's a handshake? :harumph:

[KcMizzou]

How do you know it's a handshake? :harumph:Handshake, dick wiggle, whatever you Gayhawks do.

[Frazod]

Handshake, dick wiggle, whatever you Gayhawks do.

I think that's called a "Message Board AlleyOop".

Ridiculous,we have to be subjected to the Jayhawk Lounge but can't get a damn sticky for Mizzou.

[Bob Dole]

If someone has an extra ticket, Bob Dole could arrange to make the 90 minute drive and be there. :)

[HemiEd]

Ridiculous,we have to be subjected to the Jayhawk Lounge but can't get a damn sticky for Mizzou.

Well this place does have some standards. :D

Man that sounds awesome. I had planned to bring a table for beer pong and flippy cup, but, alas, my boss is the one who got me the tickets and since I have to take a client now I better take it easy on the boozing. I have a real problem with always thinking I sound more sober than I really do.

[duncan_idaho]

I'm planning on going to GameDay, as I noted earlier...

For anyone who wants to meet up and crack a beer, I'll be one of the guys with a sign... (and no, it won't say: "Aug. 21, 1863: Missouri 183, kansas 0") I'll update on Thursday or Friday with what it will be. Probably the easiest way to find me...

Although, frazod, I don't know if you and I should meet. kansans might die in large numbers if that happened...

Hopefully the field will be in good shape for the raiders game on sunday after the azz kicking the Jayhawks are going to receive saturday evening...

My brother is going, I went to it last year at Columbia, but I wish I could go to it this year...

[Bob Dole]

What's face value on the lower level seats? There are actually a couple of eBay auctions that appear to be adhering to the law on resale.

[beer bacon]

I will be there with 19 of my closest friends.

[bowener]

I think it is $55 lower, 65 club, 45 upper...30 upper as well for student sections

[Third Eye]

Wonder how man KU fans are going...
Well, from what I read (not going to link because it was unofficial), it was 40k KU students, 15k MU students, and 25k Chiefs season ticket holders.

[kcchiefsus]

Not going but I am going to the Faider game the next day. It's going to be a tough job getting that stadium and parking lot picked up in less than 12 hours.

[duncan_idaho]

Well, from what I read (not going to link because it was unofficial), it was 40k KU students, 15k MU students, and 25k Chiefs season ticket holders.
It will be interesting to see how the Chiefs season tickets split... gotta figure Mizzou will hold around half of those (as Missouri expectations were much higher when those tickets were on sale).

[CHENZ A!]

I'll be there, rooting for KU, with my best friend who is a big MU fan, along with two girls one MU and one KU. We are club level, four rows back! I really just hope it's a good game, and whoever wins it keeps on going to the national championship. Should be one hell of a party, and alot of fun people watching. GO HAWKS!

[Stewie]

An inordinate amount of Chiefs season ticket holders live in Johnson County. The present KU/MU ratio that I've heard is 70/30 KU. That's not surprising since the movers and shakers in the metro live in JOCO and have a strong KU alliance. An interesting side is that I work for a large aerospace company (5000+ employees) and we have zero MU grads except for one (works in hr). We have engineers from KU, KSU, ISU, NU, Iowa, Rolla (who grew up in JOCO), Texas, Brown... I could go on, but you get the point.

I think it was 16 thousand MU. But like they said, MU fans were buying tickets off of KU because they bought up so many.....it might be more even than what they are saying

[bowener]

My understanding from work is that they split the staduim down the 50's half KU and half MU as part of the 2 year agreement between the 2 colleges. Chiefs ST holders got first crack, then it went to the coleges. All I know is it was nuts at work and we sold out in a few days...so I dont know about the 70/30 ratio at all, I figured it to be more 50/50ish between the 2, but we'll just have to see (I know we handed out student tickets for all upper sections on our half of the stadium).

If anyone has some great mangino headshots I would be greatful to see them, I need a great picture for my sign to show on ESPN gameday.

And the Chiefs' season ticket holder password was passed out on every single Mizzou message board around. That's how I got my tickets, and I know of several hundred other Mizzou fans who got theirs that way.

Which aerospace company do you work for?

Also they said on 810 that KU made it part of there season ticket holder package, and that MU did not. Maybe not package but a option to buy with season tix.

i heard The AD from Mizzou and KU on Neil and Marty on 610. they mentioned there were 25k MU alumni in KC and about 70K KU in KC area.

MU's season ticket holders (TSF) had the option as well, we filled out the bowl forms this week for all the possible bowls that the Tigers can go to as well. I really do not know how many MU tiger fans will be there, but the way it sounds at work is it should be about even.

MU officials dispute KU’s crowd claim
By MIKE DeARMOND The Kansas City Star

Missouri officials are expressing surprise at the suggestion that Kansas fans will make up 70 percent of the crowd at the Border War football game at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday night.

“Seventy-thirty?! Are you kidding me? I don’t see that,” said Mark Alnutt, MU associate athletic director, referring to KU officials’ claims that Arrowhead Stadium would be 70-percent Kansas fans, 30-percent Missouri fans.

Alnutt said MU, through its ticket department, sold 17,000 tickets to the game.

“And the Chiefs, who sold 29,000, told us the first ones to go out were mostly for the Missouri part of the (lower) bowl.”

In a story in The Star on Monday, KU athletic director Lew Perkins indicated that he anticipated a 70-30 split of the crowd favoring KU.

http://www.kansascity.com/sports/story/368462.html

[bowener]

As it says, that is a surprise. I dont know how many MU fans will be there but I think it will be a lot closer than 70:30.

Hmm, let's see, if I was from Missouri and wanted an engineering degree, where would I go? MU or Rolla? Hmm...

[patteeu]

Hmm, let's see, if I was from Missouri and wanted an engineering degree, where would I go? MU or Rolla? Hmm...

I went to Rolla and my 3 siblings all went to MU. We all earned engineering degrees. To be honest, I think the engineering program at MU is comparable to that at Rolla. IMO, Rolla has a better engineering reputation just because engineering is such a large focus there whereas at MU it's just one of many fine programs. I don't think you'd be going wrong at either school although if you want to be exposed to a wide variety of people (instead of just engineering types), you're better off at the Columbia campus.

[patteeu]

I won't be at the MU/KU game, but I have tickets to see MU in San Antonio on December 1st.

It's not like kU's engineering school is that highly renowned. In-state kansans that want to be engineers go to kSU.

And I have a friend who works as an engineer at at aeronautical firm in kansas... still waiting to hear which one stewie works for.

[Chief Henry]

What game ? Iowa's not playing.

[StcChief]

MU 30% crowd please..... more likely ~50/50

[KurtCobain]

i will be there rooting for mizzou. should be a fantastic game.

KU I believe is more respected for the aerospace, bio., and mechanical/electrical stuff. I know a KSU structural engineer who told me "Those are some smart m-fers".

[jjchieffan]

I am tempted to go. I have a friend who is a former arrowhead employee. They have two badges and swear I would have no problem whatsoever getting in. I just dont know if I want to risk it.

[bowener]

Ok, so my boss sent me this link to show the seating arrangements for the border war: http://mutigers.cstv.com/auto_pdf/p_hotos/s_chools/miss/sports/m-footbl/auto_pdf/arrowhead-seating-map

The only big difference I can see is the South upper seats are not MU seats, whereas the opposites are KU seats, also 2 sections down below that are full Chiefs season ticket holders (112, 108) and not half as they are on the KU side (129, 125) and part of upper sections on the MU side. It looks more 60:40 than 70:30 to me, but I guess if every Chiefs season ticket holder is a KU fan, then it could be 70:30. Next year it flips for MU and KU seating wise.

I have 6 in 308 (first row available to MU fans-23), not great seats, but better than not being there... to me at least.

There are no bad seats at this game. I'm sure there are alot of people on this board who'd be envious of top row corner endzone seats.

Im going to office depot today to get my 3 foot tall mangino head printed for the gameday crew!

For your general civil engineering, yes. KU I believe is more respected for the aerospace, bio., and mechanical/electrical stuff. I know a KSU structural engineer who told me "Those are some smart m-fers".

I worked with a couple of KU aerospace engineering grads. As I recall, they were a little slow, had limited social skills and I don't think they'd ever heard of football, but they sure knew their college basketball.

Hmm, let's see, if I was from Missouri and wanted an engineering degree, where would I go? MU or Rolla? Hmm...

Now that UMR is changing their name to the Missouri Institute of Science & Technology, I suspect that the women there will come to be called "Gorillas in the MIST".

[Skip Towne]

I really don't know much about MU. I thought it was a journalism school. Do they have an engineering school? A law school? A medical school? :shrug:

I know those guys!!!!!!!!!!! They said you weren't very good at bringing them coffee.

Sure, as do most major state universities these days. It is thought of as a journalism school because they have a top notch journalism program.

Hey, where the hell are all the MU fans going to park?

I was just discussing this with Nzoner - there's a grassy area northwest of the stadium where we've set up shop at in the past (other BB gatherings) - we'll shoot for that. I'll try to get a diagram of the parking lot showing the exact location later.

I know lots of engineers. I'm trying to think of any that don't fall into the "smart Mf'er" category. Most of the folks I meet work on developing new imaging hardware and software.

Good guys/girls all around.

It's not like kU's engineering school is that highly renowned. In-state kansans that want to be engineers go to kSU.

And I have a friend who works as an engineer at at aeronautical firm in kansas... still waiting to hear which one stewie works for.

Dem farmers need to know how to operate them tractors and how to build a pond damn some how ? :shrug:

If anyone wants to park in this area you'll want to go in gate 6

But not for the Game Day session. Didn't it say Gate 2 and only Gate 2?

[Nzoner]

Yeah,this is for tailgating and parking only at 3 when the gates open,for real.

[smittysbar]

Which is the best way to come in when going to gate 6?

[Nzoner]

There's what I call a back entrance to the stadium off 40 Hwy.Depending on where you're coming from the entrance is just west of Sports Nutz or just east of the I-70 Drive-in at 8710 E Hwy 40.

There's a stoplight and a sign that reads Stadium Entrance,once on that road you will actually cross over I-70 and gate 6 will be just a few more blocks from there.

Sorry I'm not from KC so if that doesn't help maybe someone who knows the area better can help.

Here is a pdf file with a map.

Heh,you'd think I'd known that road was called Stadium Drive,thanks for posting that even though you are a KU fan :D

If anyone wants to exchange cell numbers so we can hook up once inside send a pm.

My pleasure...just want to see everyone arrive and depart safely and watch a great sporting contest.

[Third Eye]

Man, I haven't been this excited for a game at Arrowhead in, well maybe never. Getting ready to leave for KC in about half an hour. I can't friggin wait to get this on.

[Frazod]

I have arrived in Lee's Summit - I can smell the stench of the beakers wafting in from the west. I do not like it. :#

I'm currently using my uncle's antiquated and deeply crudded computer with dial-up access, so I will be on sparingly. Joe, I changed my mind, and I plan on hooking up with you and Brandon before you drive to the stadium. I'll give you a call tomorrow morning.

This time tomorrow, it will all be settled. Can't believe it's almost here.

See you guys tomorrow.

DIE BEAKER SHITBAGS! GO MIZZOU!

I'm jealous of all of you. GO MIZZOU!

Nzoner and frazod send greetings and a hearty "**** KU" from the parking lot at Arrowhead.
